I love this nerdy kid from Worcester who's at the Olympics just to do pommel horse and only pommel horse and he is literally Team USA's best chance at Olympic gold for just pommel horse. And today he's literally just hanging out until it's time for pommel horse. LOVE HIM.

Why bother with deep fake de-aging CGI when the answer to the problem of how to do convincing flashbacks is to simply have a son with Goldie Hawn?
First look at Wyatt and Kurt Russell in the ‘GODZILLA’ spin-off series ‘MONARCH: LEGACY OF MONSTERS’.
They will play the same character, Army officer Lee Shaw, in different eras.

Does anyone remember when they sent Kelly Clarkson to represent America for the Pop Idol World comp and it was so embarrassing for the rest of the world, the concept was never tried again??? (At least not with America's involvement!)
American Idol had the mission of finding the best singer in America — and they literally found her in Season 1

Honestly what's lost in the Hot Rodent Men discourse is that it's not their faces as much as it's the fact that they're a fresh crop of stars who are actually DTF after a decade-plus of puritanically virginal superheroes with bland faces and zero chest hair. It's the sex, stupid.

Issa López pitched an original crime mystery to HBO and they asked her to edit it to fit the TRUE DETECTIVE universe. She did so by adjusting her vision to be a photonegative of Season 1, with the emphasis on gender. I found it fascinating and refreshing. Strange who doesn’t.
